It was great helpful, I'm Brazilian and I didn't find any explanation on the sites in Brazil, thanks for you help me. Keep going. I'm sorry my English is not good.

Thanks for the great video, not only explaining failover routing in RouterOS, but also highlighting the change in getting recursive routing to work properly in ROS7! 👍 I also hadn't previously noticed the new check-gateway options... definitely going to have to dig into those.

Great guide! Thanks! It works great for me on ROS 7.8. What if I don't have a standard GW for one of the ISPs? What should I add to the route? For example, I have Starlink on pass-through mode and I set a DHCP client for the ISP1 interface. How can I set the gateway from the DHCP client as a default route? Thanks in advance!

11:37 This setup assumes that you know your gateways. That is often not the case. You just want to check your 2 WAN-connections without having to set (changing) gateways.

@TheNetworkTrip

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Werner, you have a great point! If we are using DHCP on the WAN, we can use a script to update the ISP's GW if that changes. It can be something like the following: Let's assume we have the ISP-1 connected on ether1: :local newgw [ip dhcp-client get [find interface="ether1"] gateway]; :local routegw [/ip route get [find comment="isp1"] gateway ]; :if ($newgw != $routegw) do={ /ip route set [find comment="isp1"] gateway=$newgw; } We would only need to add a comment ( "isp1") to the route with scope =10 and create a task in the system/schedules and execute that task every X amount of time. I hope this is going to help! Thank you

You just have to enable a dhcp-client on the interface connected to the isp, untick the add default box so that you can add the static route.

excellent. works like a charm. How to deal in situation if IP of Wan interface is dynamic and potentially my provider has dynamic gateway IP, so it can change?

Hi , Thank you for the video,, If there is 3rd link then what will the scope and target scope, Also if we for each WAN link there are different lan IP pool , then how will that recursive?

Hi i love what you do. how do i reach the router using winbox from either Ip addresses, from outside the LAN supposing both isps assigned public Ip addresses.

Hello , And always following You , Great explanations. Have a question Whats the best way to load balance two PPPOE same gateway and use BGP Need to be able to stream iptv on my tv

Great video sir. if I intend to combine 3 isps, for example three 500mb connections combined for 1.5gb availability on the router, can I assign distance of 1 to all the connections? if 1 connection breaks down, 2 will still work to provide 1gb availability for the system. I intend to use the recursive routing provided above but use a distance of 1 for all providers. will this work sir? there are pcc settings in the mangle to handle the traffic.

may i ask . in a home network with 2 adsl modems what would be the external hosts ? thank you

Great explanation, thank you!!! Is it possible to check the gateway using bfd instead of ping, in the recursive route?

Hello! Thanks. We can’t use BFD on static routes yet.

Is this seamless failover? If the primary WAN fails, will it still continue pinging when transitioning to Backup WAN?

Hi, Thanks you. I have a question, in the test part, when you drop all forward to ETH2, you off conexion from ISP-1 and active for failover ISP-2, but in the image ETH1 is for ISP-1 Conexion WAN and ETH2 is for ISP-2 conexion..is a mistake image ?

but I don't why, it doesn't work for my network for some reasons. The secondary route is showing in blue in the route list window and then in red after 30sec. status messages are : enabled, invalid, unreachable, static, HW offload. The wierd thing is that the traffic doesn't reroute through the main connection and I have to disable the 2nd WAN port to make it work again. Happy to get some support if all possible. Thanks

Hello!! DNS servers are still required. The ones in the routes are for monitoring the Internet access only (they can be any reachable IP on Internet)

Hi Eichra, All the process will look the same, the only difference will be that instead of using and IP on the gateway value, you can specify the pppoe-interface-name. Let's say your ISP has the interface pppoe-isp1, then, your route will have gateway=pppoe-isp1

Thank you so much Sir! we saddly have poor explanations across the web about OS7. Can you help me with another? how to clean the Conntrack when Gateway changes?
